TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN;.

Be it known tlat I, ANTHONY M. DUBURN and JOHN KEITH, of Chicago, in thecounty of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Frames for Supporting Stoves on Vessels; and we do herebydeclare that the followingisa full, clear, and exact description of theconstruction and operation of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawings and letters of reference marked thereon, making a. partof this specification, in which--Y Figure 1 is a perspectiverepresentation of our frame.

Figure 2 is a. plan view of the platform supporting the stove.

The nature of our invention consists in supporting the stove upon a.platform hung upon inclined braces in such n. manner that the stovewill. remain in nearly a level position,notwithstanding the lateral rollof the ship lor vessel. By this means the stove will remain in such aposition that the cook can perform all ot' the ordinary `ivork ot'cooking during a storm with nearly the same facility as in time ot' acalm, which is not the ease when the stove rests upon any permanentiXture of the vessel. It is well known to seamen and others that thepitch of the vessel does not usually affect the culinary operations ofthe same, but the roll of the ship in a storm is a. vertT great baragainst providing the necessary food for seamen and passengers. We claimthat by the useof our invention this diculty is removed at a costsosmall that no objection can be made to its becoming generally adoptedon board ot' ships or water crat't frequently subjected to high seas andrough weather.

A represents the deck upon which our frame rests. B shows the metallicstandards inclined inward at the top solas to form a support for thebearings D. attached to the Suspenders G, supporting the platform E,upon which the stove F rests. This platform has the holes G, throughwhich projections on the under side of the stove pass in order to keepthe stovein position. It also has the arm H extending outward to thesides ot' the stove `F in order that the ribs I, projecting upward atthevend of the arms, may prevent the stove from becoming 4detached.fromthe platform E by the motion ot' the vessel.- It is not necessary thatthe standards B rest upon the deck of the vessel, as they can beinverted and. attached to the timbers over head and yet allow the stoveto' have an opposite swinging motion corresponding with the roll ot' theship; but it is essential that the stove have n suitable platform,similar to Efin order to prevent the sanno `from upsetting when heavyarticles are placed on the openings T at either sido of the stove.

Operation: The longitudinal section shown by the-red line XX shouldcorrespond with the keel of the ship, in which case the frame supportingthe stove will allow the latter to retain a horizontal position, nomatter how much the vessel may roll. l

' Having thus fully described our device, what we claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, is- I The combination ofthe standards B, Suspenders C, platform E, and arms H, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.
